| Nov 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | My rear passenger side window will not go back up. It is constantly receiving power to pull the roll the window down. This is a known problem in the community. If you visit any Ford F-150, Explorer, or Maverick forum, there are post about work arounds on how to get the window up and temporarily get the window to stay up until the part comes in to repair it the correct way. Many of the people are posting that it is a known problem and the Dealerships are just "Yeah, we know, the parts are on back order, we can get you scheduled when it comes in". My argument is that if it is a known issue, why is the Manufacturer waiting until the owner reports it to perform the repair. Especially, because due to the constant power being applied, it could burn up the power window motor, safety interlocks for auto up/down, or if the materials get too hot eventually causing other electrical issues. From what I have found online it appears to be a known problem affecting mainly 2021-2022 year model vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | At idle, the vehicle will shutter and idle rough, nearly stalling in traffic. I have taken it to the dealership twice to two separate dealerships and it's under factory warranty and they have no repair or fix for the problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | STEERING,SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE | The structural integrity of the hood and front bumper failed due to unsafe modifications performed by Rocky Ridge and endorsed by Ford Motor Company. The hood's structural reinforcements and crush zones were cut to fit a hood scoop, and sections of the front bumper were removed, compromising crashworthiness. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and I have documented with images. The modifications to the hood and front bumper compromised the vehicle’s crashworthiness, potentially increasing the risk of severe injury or death in a collision. The removal of structural reinforcements and crush zones on both components prevents them from functioning as designed to absorb and distribute impact forces during a crash, endangering all occupants of the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by an independent collision repair center, a Ford Certified Collision Center and my insurance company USAA. Both parties have stated that the modifications to the hood and bumper are unsafe, and the insurance company has refused to authorize repairs that replicate the original modifications due to safety concerns. The vehicle has been inspected by my insurance company and a collision repair center. Both confirmed the safety concerns resulting from the modifications and highlighted that the affected components cannot be repaired or replaced without compromising safety. Images were provided to Ford Motor Company and inspected by Ford Collision Center Manager. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other visible symptoms of the problem prior to the discovery of the modifications during a repair process. Ford Positon Statements and On Target Tech Bulitens prohibit these types of modifications and were violated, then conceled so that the consumer would not be able to see them unless in an accident. Ford is citing that the time frame exceeds 24 months so there is nothing that they are willing to do about it. This is a failure to warn and product defect that impacts safety. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The main dashboard screen either works delayed after starting, and also unknowingly screen freezes. Have ALMOST backed up into another vehicle not knowing screen was frozen, have been into shop 4 times for repair and NOT ONCE has been repaired. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Three warnings light up: Antilock Brake Fault, Hill Start Assist Warning, and Pre-Collision Assist Not Available. Brakes failed. I was fortunate that no one was in front of me but the truck barely stopped. Took full pedal to the floor to force lockup. I am filing the matter as it does appear to be a frequently occurring concern in 2021 and 2022 models based on what I have read to date. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle went into sleep mode. The error message was displayed that the battery was low. While opening the door at night, there were no interior lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who informed the contact that the vehicle was working as designed. The dealer tested the battery and determined that the battery was working as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to another local dealer and the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,000 |
| Oct 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The slip yoke on the driveshaft was under-lubricated from the factory. It is an issue that is common to F150 trucks. I believe that the failure of this component could lead to damage to the differential or driveshaft, which, if either component fails, could be a safety issue. My biggest concern is that this issue seems to be fairly common, and I am unsure if it has been investigated to determine if a recall is warranted. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, an abnormal fume leaked into the interior of the cabin from the catalytic converter. In addition, upon further inspection, the contact noticed an unknown leak from the exhaust gasket. The contact sustained headaches however medical attention was not sought. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the suspension, driveshaft, and other unknown repairs were needed. The contact was advised by the local dealer that the failure was related to an unknown TSB. The vehicle was repaired however, the failures reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 | 30,000 |
| Oct 2024 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | Factory LED day light running lamps on driver and passenger head lights went out and there is no way to replace them without changing out the entire headlight assembly. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I have a 2022 F-150 STX 4x4 with 47000 miles. It has been making a strange creaking/clicking/popping noise from the rear diff/axles when slowing to a stopped position and when accelerating from a stopped position. It is present during all drives. I am concerned that it within the drivetrain which gives me concern that it could cause to the vehicle and or passengers. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN,VISIBILITY/WIPER | My vehicle had a wiper motor recall that came out when I bought it. I had to wait 2 years for parts and I had it done in May of this year. Vehicle harldy sees any rain so the wipers have only been used a few times since then. Well today I was driving and it started to rain and the wipers wouldn't turn on. What's the point of a recall if they are just going to install more defective parts. Sad part is the original wiper motor worked with no problems. Also this engine has cylinder deactivation on it and is operating when it isn't suppose to. So if I'm accelerating from a dead stop it turns on cylinder deactivation and I loose power and acceleration. The ford dealers and ford customer service people don't care I have an unsafe vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EQUIPMENT | I have a 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum with B&O Sound system. Yesterday, while driving I experienced a loud boom followed by loud staticky crackling sounds coming from the sound system. I thought I had been hit by another vehicle or somebody had thrown something at the car. I stopped immediately to see if glass was broken and got out of vehicle for fear it was going to burn or blow up. The crackling sound continued even after turning off the sound system and turning off the vehicle. The crackling continued for approximately 30 minutes. This morning, I started the car and the crackling sound was not present. This is a safety issue because it caused me to be alarmed and behave in abrupt manner to get out of the car, and may have even caused hearing damage. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | This complaint is concerning the recall 22C22 for the 2022 Ford F150 park lamps flickering, I took my vehicle in for service to get this recall performed because the recall was open, when I picked up my vehicle I was told that the recall had just been put on hold by Ford, this was around August 15, 2024. I was also told that I would be contacted by them, the dealership/service advisor when the recall was open again, this has not happened, its been several weeks and I have not heard anything back, I have called Ford and also done a live chat with them over my Ford Pass app and still have no answers. The park lamps continue to flicker to the point that one of the headlights is beginning to fail, the LED DRL are very dim or just don't light up at all anymore, these are the same lights that flicker so much and so often that they look like strobe lights, Ford is saying that this is unrelated which I firmly believe it's not accurate, the excessive flickering very likely caused the lights to fail. Now they want me to take it in to them and get it diagnosed and to replace the headlight assembly which cost well over $1200 dollars just for the part. They have failed to address the actual cause of the problem to begin with. LED park lamps should not fail on a 2 year old vehicle, in most cases LED light should last years and possibly even the life of the vehicle. I am a Master Technician for a major automotive brand and also ASE certified with over 30 years of experience and I firmly believe that the flickering will continue to damage the headlights on these vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | When driving the vehicle shut off power for 5sec but doesn’t shut off vehicle (all electrical off ) then kick back on ,idling high | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The display becomes unresponsive randomly and driver cannot use camera to reverse the vehicle until vehicle is completed turned off, locked and unlock it and start again. This creates a safety hazard in the middle of reversing vehicle and also creates a confusion while using navigation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light had remained illuminated, and the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who reprogrammed the PCM, but the failure persisted. The contact also stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle rolled. The failure had occurred with the engine running and with the vehicle turned off. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 70,000 |
| Aug 2024 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | See attached document for complaint. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The vents stop pushing air, regardless of setting, so windshield defroster does not work to clear the windshield of fog. Happens while driving and no adjustments to climate control change airflow unless I turn the car off and back on. Occurs infrequently and without clear cause. Dealership failed to reproduce the problem when I took it in. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | While driving A/C unit will slowly stop blowing cold air. It is very random when this happens and the vehicle has to sit a for a while before it starts working again. Vehicle was purchase in August 2023 and the issue did not start until about 2 months ago and has now happened 4 times. First time I drover for hours before it happened, this last time I was only driving for 20 minutes. I think this is related to the Ford TBS 22-2089. I am just over the 36,000 mile Warranty, but under the 3 year Ford Warranty, so I will probably have to pay for this out of pocket. This should be a recall for affected vehicles as this is a very expensive fix to have on a 2 year old truck that was no fault of the owners. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | STRUCTURE | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vent clips had detached from all the air vents. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer where the clips had been replaced under warranty; however, the failure occurred. The contact stated that the failure would occur in warmer weather. The vehicle was returned to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and it was confirmed that the VIN was not under recall for the failure or covered under warranty. The manufacturer had referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,000 |
| Aug 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V896000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was not available. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EQUIPMENT | This complaint was already documented here: NHTSA ID Number: 11487857 Turned my truck on to hear a LOUD pop, scared everyone inside. Speakers continued to crackle and pop, at a lower volume. No audio or music played. Thinking it would go away, I continued out of our neighborhood. When it didn't, I stopped and turned the truck off, as well as locking the vehicle, with the same crackling noise coming from the speakers despite everything being shut off. Turned the truck back on and went through audio settings. The only thing that made it stop was switching from "Stereo" to "Surround" mode in the settings. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ENGINE,FIRERELATED | The front of the truck started smoking when it was pulled over at a gas station on 07/26/2024, the hood was too hot to open, and the front of the truck proceeded to start on fire. It took the fire department 20 minutes to arrive on the scene at which point there was not much left of the front of the truck. Everyone was able to get out of the vehicle and no injuries occurred. The truck is obviously totaled, but we are unaware as what caused this truck to blow up. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Fresh air intake cowling allows small debris to build up and does not allow consumer ability to clean/service it. This results in water backing up and spilling to AC filter and blower motor, thus leaking into passenger side of cab. Dealer and Ford state this is a non-warrantable item, and that the consumer should be aware to maintain it themselves despite being able to. Dealership also does not clean this during routine service, nor notify the consumer about it condition. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The attached document will explain in details about the back up failing on multiple occasions and Ford Motor Company has no fixes for this at this time. It is a SAFETY concern due to the back up camera with small children around. This is the third APIM module since Jan 2024. Now Ford says tells their dealers not to do anything with them to wait until around October or November and they will send out another bulletin on how to handle this problem. Then once that is done who knows how long it take. Big Safety issue here. F150 is the number one selling truck on the road as Ford says so that makes this even a bigger issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
